"SONIC!" The pink small female hedgehog shouted as she sprinted across the empty streets.

She had spotted the hero of Mobius, strangely, walking casually around the block. The area was calm and so Sonic had decided to just take a stroll and slow down, a rare sight from the fasted thing alive.

"Aw man.", murmured the blue hedgehog as he stiffened himself, preparing to be strangled by Amy's death hug. He closed his eyes tightly and waited for the circulation in his neck to be cut off. It never came.

"Huh?" Sonic opened his eyes to look at the other hedgehog. Amy was standing there in front of him, an arm stretched out. Clutched in her hand was a Chinese jade necklace. Sonic recalled him getting that for her on one of their adventures. He told her that it had brought out her eyes beautifully, and he actually meant it. The merchant had given them the necklace for free as a sign of gratitude for what the heroes had done to save their country. He always remembered that day, the one day when Amy and he had actually connected for a moment.

"What's this Ames?" The blue hedgehog asked puzzled.

Amy's body was trembling slightly. She forced back so many tears at the look of his confused expression. A rebellious tear had escaped and slid down her muzzle, despite her ordering them not to fall. Other tears followed suit until Amy had begun to break down in tears. She whimpered slightly and hung her head, pink short quills falling in front of her face and arm still extended.

"S-Sonic…" Sonic was now more concerned than confused. He took a hesitant step forward and extended a gloved hand. He had barley grazed her shoulder when Amy jerked back. She looked up, anger now in her sparkling jade eyes.

"Here!" Amy shook her fist that had the necklace in it which she was now clutching even tighter than before. Sonic looked at Amy, the necklace, then Amy again. He slowly reached to grab the necklace. The moment he had gotten a good grip on it, Amy pulled her hand away from his.

"What's the matter Ames? Stop the water works please!" Amy violently shook her head.

"Get away from me Sonic! I…I never want to see your face again…" Sonic was surprised, he even took a step back.

"Hey what's up, I don't understand ya. What'd I do?" He once again attempted to grab Amy, but this time she did not resist.

"Ames?" Her body was trembling extremely from trying to hold back her tears. She just whimpered more and once again jerked back from Sonic's touch.

"Bye Sonic..." Amy turned around and ran, leaving the blue hero dumbfounded. For once he didn't know how to react, and for once he wasn't fast enough to chase after Amy. He just stood there in the empty sidewalk. Sonic looked down at the necklace that was still in his hands. He stared blankly at it for a few seconds until a sharp pain begun to grow in his heart. He put a hand on his chest and frowned. He didn't understand what it was, but just recalling the events that had just occurred brought him agony.

Amy walked the streets slowly, head hung and jade pools looking dead.

"Well done Rose.", said a raspy voice from a dark corner. The sun had been going down and patches of long shadows were scattered around the town. Amy jumped slightly at the voice, heart beginning to pound rapidly at recognizing who it had belonged to and what damage it was capable of.

"Yeah…you said you wouldn't hurt him if I did that, so you better not!", "Or what?!" Amy flinched at the harsh tone the voice used. She remained quiet and faintly, Amy seemed to be able to hear the voice snickering.

"That's what I thought. Now, get lost!" Amy frowned, but just looked down at the floor once more as she begun to walk away.

"Fine Mephiles, you win…"
